I first got interested in AW when I saw a video of Gabrielle somewhere (not kidding - there was a video , which was probably purged in the get-rid-of-the-old-vids effort). What actually got me into subscribing back in 2005 was an imageset of Isabel, of which I had seen some photos. Oh, and the fact that I got broadband in between.
Since then, I've been a member on and off, sometimes venturing onto other sites (mostly those that you'd also find in the "Abby recommends..." listing), and I resubscribed because of some reduxes by models that I liked very much (mostly Evangeline and Portia) and also because the site split issue crept up again and I thought, well, before they turn everything upside down and raise prices, let's have another look (which is funny, since the whole site split discussion was what made me decide not to renew my membership earlier).
What I like very much in AW is that you get an insight into the model's personality in some or most cases, and you get a tiny look into what they feel, what excites them, etc., and also because, compared to most 'artsy' sites, there is a level of quirkiness and intimacy that you'd never find anywhere else. And I don't get anything from mainstream porn since everything is sooo obviously fake that you could also make paperdolls and have them perform sexual actions. Some BDSM sites have a kind of immediacy that brings you close to the model, but they always have this sadistic stuff involving physical pain and humiliation, which turns me off quicker than it can turn me on.
Now, playful bondage, something as in Petra and Susie's deviations shoot, or some playful damsels in distress setting, that's something that would get me excited.
What parts do I actually like/watch? I'm really really fond of some T3's such as the ones by Chloe B and Marigold, or the Cleo and Violet one, and I also like to look at the solo shoots (both images and videos). WRT the solo shoots, I've always felt that the stuff from 2003-2004, though scarce, was the best because there was more action in it and the videographer would actually move around and you'd get a feeling of being in the action. In my opinion, some of this is lost now as the sets are chock full of naughty bits but miss many of the things that would make you feel connected to the model. That's something of a balance that you have to keep, and sometimes, being more consistent at some aspects mean that it's never perfect - take for example nice undies, which I'm definitely a sucker for, but then you see someone like llewelyn hop around in a tree wearing a semi-fancy dress and frilly underwear and you ask yourself, "what would she normally be wearing?"
Hope that's not too long an answer
Cheers,
